dataguy replied to Elon Johnson's discussion 'Are people stupid?'"Americans are pretty unique in that many of us almost worship ignorance, believing education is bad and good-old horse sense (no matter how nonsensical) is good. I believe this has it's roots in the Bible, as it refers to scholars as…"
Holo Gram replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"Speaking of not thinking like our ancestors, according to China's First National Census of Water, more than 28,000 of its rivers are missing. Missing? Over half of their rivers have gone missing?
How might we connect observations and…"
Ron Humphrey replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"t always amazes me and makes me angry when after a tornado there is always someone who says "praise god, it was a miracle that I survived". They conveniently forget that some of their neighbors may not have been so lucky and were…"
Holo Gram replied to Matt Giwer's discussion 'We cannot think like our ancestors'"Yes, after I die I'm donating my body to fertilizer. (It should handle an acre or two. :o)

Holo Gram replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"Hell, I would kiss his ass if it were spotted."
J T Benjamin replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"It comes with the territory of having an open mind.

Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
